We developed a measure of family obligation stress and compared its relationship to health and unmet health care needs relative to social support among a sample of US-based Latinas. Data come from a randomized controlled trial within 4 clinics to increase mammography among Latinas (n = 539). The 1-factor measure had acceptable reliability and construct validity. Family obligation stress was associated with worse health and greater unmet health care needs. Family obligation stress varied by years in the United States and country of origin. Our measure of family obligation stress contributes new venues to family research among Latino populations.
我们开发了一种家庭义务压力衡量指标，并将其与美国拉丁裔样本中的健康状况和未满足的医疗保健需求与社会支持的关系进行了比较。数据来自于 4 家诊所内的一项随机对照试验，旨在增加拉丁裔妇女的乳房 X 光检查率（n=539）。该 1 因素衡量指标具有可接受的可靠性和结构有效性。家庭义务压力与健康状况恶化和更多未满足的医疗保健需求有关。家庭义务压力因留美时间和原籍国而异。我们的家庭义务压力衡量指标为拉丁裔人群的家庭研究开辟了新的途径。
